UFO Sighting Report - Australia

On Thursday 18th March as Kelly was bringing in her
washing from the clothes line, a bright orange light
caught her attention.

It was eye level moving slowly above the tree line from
east to west, Kelly was facing north. At first she thought
it was a plane, but quickly realised it was the wrong colour.

There were no flashing lights and there was no sound.

She said it was as big as a 10 cent coin held at arms length
and bright orange. As it moved across the tree tops it was
slowly gaining in altitude. Kelly called her hubby Frank outside
to see it, he didn't think it was a plane either. Frank quickly got
his telescope which he rested on the garden shed and viewed
the object. There was no visible structure, no wings, body or tail,
just a round ball of solid orange light. Kelly quickly went for her
camera, by this time the light had travelled west towards the
mountains and risen in altitude from 10 degrees to about 40
degrees. As she aimed her camera and snapped a shot she
heard Frank say "Wow, it just disappeared, it shot upward
so fast, it just disappeared." Kelly said the object was low,
it was a clear night with a little bit of cloud. At one point as
it gained altitude it went behind the cloud and they could
still see it shining through. They viewed it for approximately
5 minutes from 9.45pm to 9.50pm.

Kelly and Frank live at Kemps Creek near Hoxton Park Airfield,
they are used to seeing low aircraft in the area but they have
never seen anything like this before. If it was a helicopter it
would have been close enough to hear. Kelly said it
definitely wasn't a balloon or a garbage bag thing.

Adding a bizarre twist to this sighting, Kelly had just finished
writing a birthday card to her brother before going outside to
collect her washing. She had chosen a humorous card which
depicted 2 little green aliens in a spaceship beaming up a gift
box. Also prior to this her father had rang her to inform her that
a mutual friend of the family had asked him if he had seen
anything strange in the sky the night before.

Apparently the friend had seen lights in the sky that had bothered
him. Kelly said it was unusual for her father to ring her specifically
to tell her about this. A strange sequence of events.
